Mason Explains It All

Enough said.

Five Months

5 Months

Five Months Old--Mason is growing so fast--and so is his hair! As always, Mason is full of smiles and can charm anyone with his grin.  So often, he and Momma are stopped by strangers so they can get a close up of the happy fellow. 

At five months, Mason is:
a master at rolling over,
no longer sleeping through the night,
laughing out loud (lots),
eating cereal,
trying new foods,
crying when Momma leaves the room,
swimming at the pool,
and sitting up by himself for a few seconds at a time.

Rolling Over

Fourth of July Fun

The Downing family made their annual trip to Lake Tippy to celebrate the Fourth (sorry Hansons).  This year was extra special.  It was the first 4th celebration at the Lake for Mason, Luke (BFF), and Leyton (cousin). Here's a picture of the three of them on a pontoon ride.  Luke could hardly sit still long enough for the picture. He was ready to go!

The 4th was full of adventures for Mason. Here are few of the highlights.

To make the trip complete, on the way home the family stopped to see Great Grandma & Great Grandpa. Mason loves to visit with his GGs and they love to visit with him.

 

It was a weekend jammed packed full of family and fun. Good thing Mason has his Grammy to nap with.  All those aventures wore him out.
